Come hear reflections from Rabbi Hannah, the Annual Report from the Board Chair, and vote on the Havurah's new Budget and updated By-laws proposed. This will also be a great opportunity to meet the Hill Havurah's new Rabbi Educator, Julie Gordon, and new Director of Operations, Alan Shusterman. And it goes without saying, food and drinks will be served.

After the last session of Yavneh (Hill Havurah's wonderful Hebrew school) on Sunday, June 2nd, Yavneh families and the Hill Havurah community will gather for food, field games, and fun to celebrate the end of the school year and Lag B'Omer. We'll provide the hot dogs (and tofurky dogs, too), the community will provide side dishes, snacks, and desserts. RSVP Here

* The holiday is really called Lag B'Omer, lag representing the number 33 in Hebrew because it falls on the 33rd day of the Omer (the period of 49 days between Passover and Shavuot) but since this celebration will be on the 43rd day of the Omer, we're calling it "Mag B'Omer" which means 43!

Shabbat Morning Service - Chizuk Shabbat, Jun 8th 10:00a to 12:00pJoin us for a special Shabbat morning service led by and honoring our 10th grade students who have completed the Chizuk program.
More information on the Chizuk program:
While Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies mark a young person’s entry into Jewish adulthood, Tenth Grade Chizuk provides high school-aged teens with the opportunity to confirm their place in the Jewish community, and to commit themselves to Jewish learning and Jewish life. Confirmation around age sixteen first became a Jewish tradition in the Reform Movement in the 1800s, when the movement questioned a child’s ability to commit to a tradition at the young age of thirteen. Now, many Jewish communities mark intention with B’nai Mitzvah and commitment with this tradition, around the time of Shavu’ot -- the holiday which marks our receiving and assenting to the Torah as a people at Sinai. Our teens have chosen to name the process Chizuk, or Strengthening, since through this process they are strengthening their already strong Jewish identities and commitments.
